Application of the transtheoretical model to sedentary behaviors and its association with physical activity status
(Public Library of Science (PLoS), 2017-04-27)
Background: The Transtheoretical Model (TTM) is a successful framework for guiding behavior change programs for several health behaviors, yet its application to reduce of sedentary behavior has been neglected. In addition, ...
Step-based physical activity metrics and cardiometabolic risk: NHANES 2005-2006
(Ovid Technologies (Wolters Kluwer Health), 2017-02)
Purpose: This study aimed to catalog the relationships between step-based accelerometer metrics indicative of physical activity volume (steps per day, adjusted to a pedometer scale), intensity (mean steps per minute from ...
Validation of wearable activity monitors for real-time cadence
(Informa UK Limited, 2019-12-09)
The purpose of this study is to establish evidence of validity for wearable activity monitors providing real-time cadence against a criterion measure. Thirty-six healthy adults, aged 18-65 years, participated in the study. ...
Physical activity engagement outside of college physical education: Application of the transtheoretical model
(P N G Publications, 2021-09-01)
Objective: In this study, we examined physical activity (PA) engagement outside of college physical education (PE) classes using the Transtheoretical Model (TTM). Methods: Overall, 414 university students enrolled in PE ...
How fast is fast enough? Walking cadence (steps/min) as a practical estimate of intensity in adults: A narrative review
(BMJ, 2018-05-31)
Background: Cadence (steps/min) may be a reasonable proxy-indicator of ambulatory intensity. A summary of current evidence is needed for cadence-based metrics supporting benchmark (standard or point of reference) and ...
COVID-19 related experiences among college students with and without disabilities: Psychosocial impacts, supports, and virtual learning environments
(Frontiers Media SA, 2021-12-10)
This cross-sectional analysis estimated differences, based on disability status, in college students' (n = 777) experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic. Data were modeled using t-tests and logistic regression. Most ...
Times in physical activity and sedentary behavior associated with awareness and knowledge of the 2008 Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans
(Paris Scholar Publishing, 2020-01-01)
Objective: In this study, we examined the associations between awareness and knowledge of the 2008 Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans and device-based measures of physical activity (PA). Methods: Overall, 222 college ...
Walking cadence (steps/min) and intensity in 21-40 year olds: CADENCE-adults
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2019-01-17)
Background: Previous studies have reported that walking cadence (steps/min) is associated with absolutely-defined intensity (metabolic equivalents; METs), such that cadence-based thresholds could serve as reasonable proxy ...
Trust in and use of COVID-19 information sources differs by health literacy among college students
(MDPI AG, 2023-03-11)
People’s health information-seeking behaviors differ by their health literacy levels. This study assessed the relationship between health literacy and college students’ levels of trust in and use of a range of health ...
Pilot study of impact of a pedal desk on postprandial responses in sedentary workers
(Ovid Technologies (Wolters Kluwer Health), 2018-10)
Physical inactivity has been linked to rates of obesity, diabetes, and heart disease through insulin resistance and other mechanisms. Although sedentary workplace environments have unintentionally contributed to the risk ...
